Two places that Pakistanis claim to be belonging from, central Asia and arab world , themselves were no comparison to the land they actually are originally from ..their own land India ....the worst form of inferiority complex ever witnessed on this planet ...or is it due to the choice of religion? Just imagine , if afganistanis were Buddhist and Hindus now !! How would that beautiful land be ?
In india, muslims are not considered as people from outside, but the religion culture and traditions that they adopted or forced to take up is considered foreign.
I enjoyed this conversation. National identity of Pakistanis is being discussed comparing Indians. India is a very diverse and complex nation. People are different between the North and South, East and West still they are all Indians. There are more similarities between the Pakitanis and North Indians when compared to Noth Indians and South Indians. Most south indians do not speak Hindi and they are darker in complexion when compared to north, they are even racially different but theIr Indian identity is not questioned since they are all born on Indian soil. I have seen that Pakistanis and North Indians mingle easily outside their home lands. As a south indian I feel as a stranger..
Borders, identities, colors, races, religions are used as manipulative tactics for vested interests to divide humanity.. whatever we were it doesn't matter. All nations on earth has a past. What matters is what we are doing and where we are heading. We need to talk on economy, business, industry, welfare, education, technology and eradicating poverty, helping people, decent values, honesty, democracy and vision.
An interesting discussion between Dr Hoodbhoy and Dr Sayyed. Talking of hostels - it is mostly for the privileged and the elite. You could touch upon how far the Madrassas are a unifying factor, based upon their common approach towards the society, Influence of Mullahs churned out from Madrassas appears to be growing faster than school and college going students who have some semblance of secular approach.
27:04 The challenge with acceptance of "multiple identities" is that the same "multiple" concept can be extended to religion. "Multiple Gods" is definitely not acceptable to Islam. Therein lies the dichotomy of logic in the expectations of the speakers.
A nation formed on the basis of notion of hatred towards fellow son of soil just because he belongs to a different religion will never find its true identity and this hatred will one day consume this nation itself
No, Sir, for once you are NOT correct: It's these Naye Mullas who are increasingly falling victim to the notions of hailing from Arabia, Syria, Turkey etc. despite everything in and about them cries its identity out.
Every Pakistani has origin in India - you wanted to have your origin from Arabia do you could have your own identity - but you Pakistani are not Arabs - accept your origin as from India -
"Every Pakistani is from here, but I have Arab and central Asian roots."
~ Every Pakistani, including the host.
i cant imagine ppl trying to look outsider for their roots nd try to disown their ancsetor..😮

That's why Maj.Gaurav Arya says if there is any body to be watched all the times, it's Dr.Hoodboy.😊
Nationalism and religion divides us and our common humanity unites us, beautifully expressed. Thank you
Indian Muslims too have identity crisis, as explained by you for Pakistani Muslims
Thought provoking discussion.
Thanks from India.

If Muslims of British India were One Nation (basis of Two Nation Theory) then why did Bengali Muslims formed a separate nation of Bangladesh
Sir, the problem of identity is not unique to Pakistan, it exists in all non-Arab Islamic countries across the globe to date.
Have you read a book by Iqbal Chand Mehrotra, please do
I was born in United Pakistan but my Pakistani passport records my country of birth as Bangladesh.
If Islamic Republic of Pakistan ruled by Islamic rulers no problems
A nation formed on the basis of notion of hatred towards fellow son of soil just because he belongs to a different religion will never find its true identity and this hatred will one day consume this nation itself

Whether pure or somewhat pure, bottom line is the country is bankrupt. Now go analyze why.
Grand father of jinha n Iqbal were Hindu, they converted because of some reason , u can find out from your history
